Use a cure-all oil
Our bodies constantly crave moisture. From our dry hair to our cracked heels, keeping every zone hydrated is important. Having a different moisturizer for each body part is not. Essential oils can serve as a night cream for your face, shine serum for your hair, cuticle oil for your fingers, and lotion for your limbs, says Paul. There are countless options, too. Avocado, coconut, and sweet almond are just three great natural cure-all oils that are packed with nourishing fatty ingredients. Afraid of breakouts or irritation? Tanzi says most organic oils won't upset your skin but suggests trying tea tree oil if you have extra sensitive skin.

When it comes to grooming, some gals are divas, some are minimalists, and some are just plain out of their element lazy. While many will stop at nothing to preen and primp, others just can't be bothered. Chalk it up to time constraints, lack of skills, or maybe even the old "ignorance is bliss" mantra but at some point -- like NOW --you're going to have to face the harsh reality that leaving the house looking like you just rolled out of bed hasn't been socially acceptable since college (and even then it was iffy).

Skip ahead to see our lazy girl's guide to grooming.

Listen, don't feel bad, you're not alone. In fact, celebrity makeup and hair pro Jeffrey Paul says the 'no muss, no fuss' motto is more common than you might think. "Not all women want to be experts in the field of makeup and hair," says Paul. "Most just want to spend less than five minutes getting ready." But what's a lazy girl to do when she just can't be bothered to pluck and curl and polish and spritz herself into gorgeousness? Why, rely on shortcuts, of course. There are the old emergency standbys, like pulling on jeans if you didn't shave your legs or wearing your thick framed glasses instead of applying eye makeup, but what if you want a regular routine that requires minimum effort yet leaves you looking pretty and polished?

We chatted with skin, hair, and makeup experts for genius grooming tips, that will enable your primping process to become nearly effortless. Plus, we've included our top product picks that are guaranteed to un-complicate your morning routine. So� If you're ready to dupe everyone into thinking you clocked hours in front of your vanity when you really hit that snooze button a couple/three times, read on.
